The film, which was made on a relatively small budget, has emerged in a big success, its gross collections go through a mark of Rs 50 crore. In fact, the film has become such a huge hit that his leading actor Sasikumar was asked if he would carry forward his salary from the next film. Interestingly, Sasikumar said, “Surely not. I will not increase my salary. It will remain the same.”
I give you my assurance on this count. Why am I not growing because when I increase salary, the budget of the film will also increase. “” The film collected Rs 2.5 crore on its first day. There is a film in my career, whose entire collection was only so much. I came to know about it. Therefore, I have a film that has earned only 2.5 crores and this film has earned several crores of rupees. Among all my films, ‘Kuti Puli’ and ‘Sunderpandian’ had the most collections.
The collection of this film has already crossed those two films. Why do I say everything is obliged to give hope to new people. This will give them the confidence of never giving up. If at least five people are found in the success of this film, who hope, I will be happy. “The film, which has released two other big films – Suriya’s ‘Retro’ and Nani’s ‘Hit: The Third Case’, has still managed to achieve an acting success in which money was given many times.
The ‘Tourist Family’, which hits the screen on 1 May, is a feel-gud family entertainer, which includes Sasikumar and Simran in the lead. It also includes Yogi Babu, Mithun Jaishankar, Kamlesh, Ms. Bhaskar, Ramesh Thilak, Bhagwati Perumal (Bux), Ilango Kumarawell and Shreeja Ravi.
Arvind Vishwanathan is the cinematographer of the film, which is the music of Shan Rahman. The film is edited by Bharat Vikramana, and the art is directed by Rajkamal. Produced by Million Dollar Studio and MRP Entertainment, filmmaker Nasrat Baslian, Mahesh Raj Baselian and Yuvraj Ganesan are supported.
